...that's a Uni-ty...UNITY... yeah. I love that Queen Latifah song. (As pictured above..we're so unified we dress alike ;-) Unity...it's something that doesn't come easy, but something that is worked for and maintained. It's a choice.
If I could say something was most important at church to have...I would say that UNITY would rank in the top 5. It means that everyone knows and feels the weight of carrying out their part of the ONE vision that's been placed before us.
The hardest part is putting aside personal preferences for the vision. But in the end...who really cares what color the carpet ends up being or how loud the music is...are people getting saved in the end? Let's be a part of something unified...becasue if it's not unified, it's divided.
p.s. Yesterday was my sweet daddy's birthday. Happy Happy Birthday. A special post will be coming soon. Wait for it...wait for it....

Amen sister! AMEN! If the church is not on one accord in regards to the vision, then souls won't be reached.
A divided church cannot stand or save souls.
